Netflix may be expanding its relationship with Marvel.
The streaming service is eyeing a potential stand-alone series called “The Punisher”, a “Daredevil” spinoff, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The series would be a spinoff of “Daredevil,” where “The Walking Dead” alum will make his debut in season two.
As first reported by TV Line, the potential spinoff — which is in very early development — would star Jon Bernthal and feature “The Walking Dead” alum reprising his character that is poised to make his debut during season two of Daredevil.
Should The Punisher move forward at Netflix, it would be the streaming service’s sixth Marvel drama, joining “Daredevil”, “Jessica Jones”, “Luke Cage”, “Iron Fist” and mash-up mini “The Defenders”.
For Marvel, meanwhile, the comic book powerhouse would have at least eight series on the air if The Punisher moves forward, joining ABC’s “Agents of SHIELD” and “Agent Carter”. The network also is developing drama “Marvel’s Most Wanted”, a spinoff of SHIELD.
The potential series comes as Netflix is looking to have a new original series to debut every week of the year as part of a $1 billion investment in original programming.
